If you are missing one tooth, several teeth, or are tired of the hassle and discomfort of dentures, you already know the profound impact it has on your life—from how you eat to how you smile.
But what if you could have a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement that truly functions like the real thing?
At Dentistry at 1818 Market Street, we specialize in dental implant placement and restoration, offering our Center City patients a lasting solution that restores oral health, function, and confidence. Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement, and here is your complete guide to how they can transform your smile.
Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard
Unlike traditional bridges or dentures which sit on the gums or rely on neighboring teeth, a dental implant replaces the entire tooth root structure. This provides three critical advantages:
- Ultimate Stability: The implant fuses directly with your jawbone, creating a secure anchor for your crown. This means no slipping, sliding, or clicking—your new tooth is permanently fixed.
- Natural Look and Feel: Once topped with a custom-designed porcelain crown, the implant is virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, allowing you to speak, laugh, and eat with total confidence.
- Preserves Bone Health: When a tooth is lost, the jawbone underneath begins to deteriorate. The implant stimulates the bone, preventing this loss and maintaining the youthful structure of your face.
Your Dental Implant Journey at 1818 Market Street
We believe the process should be as comfortable and convenient as possible. Located right here on Market Street, our experienced team manages the entire process—from initial planning to final placement—right in our office.
Step 1: The Comprehensive Evaluation
Your journey starts with a thorough consultation. We use advanced 3D imaging (like Cone Beam CT scans) to assess your jawbone density, nerve locations, and overall oral health. This precise digital planning ensures your implant is placed in the optimal position for success and longevity.
Step 2: Implant Placement
During a comfortable in-office procedure, a small, biocompatible titanium post (the implant) is surgically placed into the jawbone where the tooth root is missing. Over the next few months, the implant will naturally fuse with your bone—a process called osseointegration—creating a durable, permanent foundation.
Step 3: Custom Restoration
Once healing is complete, we attach a custom-designed abutment and your final, beautiful porcelain crown. This crown is matched perfectly to the color and shape of your existing teeth, completing your permanent smile restoration.
